Cheers! Hope y'all have fun with it this winter!

Sale is pending. Thanks for everyone's interest. I'll update this thread once sold, or if current pending sale falls through.

Thank you. Yeah, it's been a great vehicle for my 7yo to grow older in. Hope you can eventually find one out west.

Thanks! I'm only listing it here for now because I want it to find a good home that will make the most of its capabilities...

SOLD SOLD 2006 LR3 HSE, $11,750 Chawton white with tan interior Original owner with all records and receipts Loaded. If I remember correctly, the only thing we didn't include when buying this vehicle was the rear overhead DVD system: - HD package with the stock rear locker - Harmon Kardon...

I've owned mine for about 2 years and love it. I think most of us are pretty biased because we spend so much time in Discos, LR3s, RRs, etc; but the LR2 is not as small as you think. A friend's 4Runner was parked next to my LR2 recently and it made me realize that the 2 is very close in size to...

Read this thread. It's not user selectable in the traditional sense and there's no switch. Your ability to enable the rear locker comes down to Terrain Response setting, Low Range, and where you point the steering wheel. The computers take it from there. Water can cause problems with some of...

Fantastic photos. Thanks for sharing, and for the narrative.

That's a valid reason for not using the K&N. IMHO, and my anecdotal experience, the MAF-will-die reason is not. So Tom peaked my curiosity regarding the filtering. I wondered just how much difference in filtering occurred between brands, as well as what kind of particles would not be filtered...

I've run a K&N filter in my D1 for 6+ years and 80k+ miles without MAF or any other related issues. Service the filter properly and it won't cause problems.

Aux battery systems seem to be popular with long-range trips, and remote trips in particular. I think this can be problematic on the D1. I'll work on the assumption that RHD Discos have a similar layout under the bonnet, but my reference is LHD NAS V8. Hopefully others with more knowledge on...

I'm sure they are great seat covers, but with a mismatched fit of that magnitude I wouldn't pay $50 for them. Die them different colors, put some fake eyeballs in those slots and look like the ghosts from Pac Man driving around...

One of my favorite RRCs. Looking forward to seeing this progress.

OK, thanks guys. I think I'll pass at this time. Still debating whether now's the time to start updating/upgrading the LR3 or to wait a few more years. Still love using the D1, but darn if LR3/4s aren't more comfortable for long trips.

Dale, does this tent have a floor? I saw one about 4 or 5 years ago but can't remember. How well does it seal out bugs, or is it more of a place for shade, not sleeping? (I'm thinking between the tailgate and ground, in particular). Thanks, Stephen
